I unlocked my UK vodafone flashed the BTU version but kies does not recogonise my fimware.I tried flashing back to Vodafone firmware but my phone is slovakian and kies does not recognise my firmware.I used odin 3.04 .Do i need to include a pit file ? The vodafone software has 4 files inside but the BTU only has one.
GT-I9505 Galaxy S 4 LTE
PDA: I9505XXUBMEA
CSC: I9505VFGBMF2
MODEM: I9505XXUBMEA
What am i doing wrong ?
I bought this Galaxy Note 3 LTE (SM-N9005) in Australia, and it came with Andorid 4.3, the original firmware was:
Product Code: VAU
PDA: N9005XXUDMJ7
CSC: N9005VAUDMJ2
MODEM: N9005XXUDMJ7
Later on, I decided to upgrade my phone to Android 4.4.2 by flashing a Singapore firmware because I couldn't wait for Australia firmware anymore, it was too slow. The Singapore firmware that I flashed was
Product Code: XSP
PDA: N9005DXUENF3
CSC: N9005OLCENF2
MODEM: N9005DXUENF1
Now that the Australia version of Android 4.4.2 firmware has eventually rolled out:
Product Code: VAU
PDA: N9005XXUENE3
CSC: N9005VAUENF1
MODEM: N9005XXUENE3
Last night I flashed this new Australia firmware and I got bootloop unfortunately, so I had to flash back to the Singapore one, I seems that I have been stucked with the Singapore firmware. Could anybody please tell me how I can flash back to Australia firmware? Thanks.
Hello to all,
Current Info: haven't flashed any other rom, only update via OTA then rooted via towelroot thanks to @geohot, knox 0x0 (installed knox v1.0.0xxuenc2):
Country: South Africa (Vodafone) - region unlock: I'm currently using here in Philippines with a local simcard without issues
Model: SM-N9005 (32gb)
Model name: GALAXY Note 3 LTE
Product Code: XFV (original)*
PDA: N9005XXUENC2 (so far this is the latest for xfv)
CSC: N9005VFGENA4 (multi csc - same with UK vod)
MODEM: N9005XXUENC2
As from the title these are the following questions:
1. Can I also use "N9005XXUFNF4_hlte_Stock_Odex_Not_Rooted_NoKnox.zip" by @mdiaz33685 to upgrade to btu NF4 over xfv NC2? taken from @sweeney_uk post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53952241&postcount=1
2. How about using official btu NF4 from sammobile.com then flash via MOP?
(It's clear to me that flashing later/latest version will not trip knox but i'm hesitant because I haven't found in the forum that flash over from exact product code of mine xfv to a different csc)
3. What are the issues using BTU NF4 in Asia?
4. What if I use official xtc NF4 firmware from sammobile.com then load in open file section via MOP, will this work without tripping knox?
I want to keep root access and knox 0x0 and unbrand my phone (i prefer to have xtc so I can receive OTA here) . As much as possible I don't want to use PC odin because some user soft bricked their phone and I think i can't revive mine via kies since it doesn't support initialization of different region csc.
Sorry for this redundant questions as I already post this to other threads. I decide to make this thread hoping to get more advice because I want to be 100% sure. Thanks in advance
I just bought a Samsung S5 from an Amazon UK seller, advertised as a G900F. It appears to be a genuine G900F but the baseband versions is G900FZHUANI2 which, based on this thread and a search on sammobile for "G900F", means it's a Hong Kong variant:
Model: SM-G900F
Model name: GALAXY S5
Country: Hong Kong
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 2741370
Build date: Wed, 10 Sep 2014 07:33:51 +0000
Product Code: TGY
PDA: G900FZHU1ANI2
CSC: G900FZZH1ANI2
MODEM: G900FZHU1ANI2
Everything appears to be in English other than the default homepage for the Internet app being Samsung Hong Kong.
Does this mean I'm not covered by the UK warranty?
What difference would this make to the features/performance?

It means you don`t have warranty in the UK, only in Hong Kong. If its a genuine G900F you might as well flash the BTU rom with Odin 3.09 for a more suitable modem and the BTU CSC file so you`ll be able to receive and install the coming BTU updates.

Thanks. Would doing that help with the warranty or would it just make the phone more suitable for UK use?

It will be more suited for the UK. Flash the latest BTU rom with Odin 3.09 and after that do a data factory reset in recovery. After that boot up and setup the phone. Type in the dialer *#1234#, and if the CSC doesn`t show the BTU csc file then reflash the BTU rom again with Odin but you don`t have to wipe afterwards. This should change the CSC to UK BTU. Warranty in the UK is still not valid as it didn`t originate as a UK device.
